Javascript : selecting elements within a element

[chathura86]

i want to select all ul tags with in a given div tag

eg.

<div id="a">
    <ul>
          <li>asdad .....</li>
          <ul>
                 <li>asdad .....</li>
                 <li>asdad .....</li>
                 <li>asdad .....</li>
          </ul>
          <ul>
                 <li>asdad .....</li>
                 <li>asdad .....</li>
                 <li>asdad .....</li>
          </ul>
    </ul>
</div>
 

so i want select only the ul tags in the javascript
cannot use id for ul tags because they are generating dynamically
and there are other ul tags out side this div tag

Use the getElementsByTagName method on the div:

var uls = document.getElementById("a").getElementsByTagName("ul");
